Macabeo Wines

The Macabeo wine grape, also known as Viura in some regions, has its origins in northeastern Spain. It is believed to have been cultivated in the Rioja and Catalonia regions for centuries. Macabeo is a versatile grape variety that is used to produce both still and sparkling wines.

In terms of taste profile, Macabeo wines are known for their crisp acidity and refreshing citrus flavors. The wines are typically light-bodied with a delicate aroma of white flowers and hints of tropical fruits. The acidity of Macabeo grapes allows the wines to age well, developing more complex flavors over time.

The best areas for growing Macabeo grapes are found in the northeastern part of Spain, particularly in the regions of Rioja, Catalonia, and Valencia.
